  • the AND gate passes a HIGH-level signal to the driver signal generator 204-DR which produces the driver signal.
  • the driver signal is applied to the actuator 202-DR of the right-side door lock device 220-DR to reverse the lock position. Since the right-side door lock device 220-DR was originally locked, it becomes unlocked upon activation of the actuator 202-DR.
  • the antenna 214-DL sends the code signal SC to the microprocessor. If the input code matches the preset code, the AND gate 226-DL opens to activate the driver signal generator 204-DL. Thus, if the left-side door lock device is originally unlocked, it becomes locked.
  • the timer 222-TL When the manual switch 210-TL is operated, the timer 222-TL become active to send a timer signal St to the AND gate 226-TL and the switching circuit 228-TL.
  • the switching circuit 228-TL then closes to establish electrical communication between the antenna 214-TL and the demodulator 230 and the modulator 238.
  • the code signal SC is transmitted from the transmitter 100 to the antenna 214-TL in response to the demand signal SD. If the input code is the same as the preset code, then the AND gate 226-TL opens to activate the driver signal generator 204-TL. Therefore, the trunk lid lock device 220-TL switches from its current position to the other position.
  • the timer 222-GL When the manual switch 210-GL is operated to open the glove box lid, the timer 222-GL is activated to output the timer signal St. In response to the timer signal St, the switching circuit 228-GL establishes electrical communication between the antenna 214-GL and the demodulator 230. The code signal SC transmitted from the transmitter 100 is thus demodulated by the demodulator and input to the microprocessor 232.
  • the AND gate 226-GL opens in response to the control signal SL from the microprocessor 232 to activate the driver signal generator 204-GL by the gate signal thereof.
  • the actuator 202-GL In response to the driver signal from the driver signal generator 204-GL, the actuator 202-GL become active to reverse the position of the glove box lid lock from locked state to the unlocked state to allow access to the glove box.
  • the manual switch 210-ST In order to release the steering wheel from the locked state, the manual switch 210-ST is depressed.
  • the timer 222-ST becomes active to output the timer signal St for the given period of time.
  • the antenna 214-ST. is connected to the microprocessor 232 via the demodulator 230 to receive the code signal SC from the transmitter 100.
  • the driver signal generator 204-ST outputs the driver signal to reverse the position of the steering lock device 220-ST from the locked state to the unlocked state.
  • Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a modified version of the program illustrated in Fig. 5(B), from which it differs only by the inclusion of steps 2017 and 2034-2040. These added steps enhance the alarm feature of Fig. 5(B) by locking up the keyless entry system tn cases where an alarm is produced in step 2032 but not heeded, so that the transmitter 100 remains locked inside the vehicle. This lock-up feature prevents unauthorized entry via the manual switches 210, forcing the vehicle user to re-enter the vehicle by means of conventional mechanical keys after forgetting the transmitter.
  • Step 2017 is inserted between steps 2016 and 2018 and serves to prevent actuation of any vehicle devices by means of the keyless entry system in cases of lock-up. Specifically, a lock-up flag F is checked at step 2017 and if set, the program ends rather than proceeding to step 2018. The flag F L is normally reset, allowing normal program flow from step 2016 to step 2018, and can only be set in step 2040 described below.
  • Step 2034 follows step 2032. After the alarm is produced, the timer is restarted in step 2034 to clock a second predetermined period of time allowed for the driver to re-enter the vehicle and retrieve the transmitter. In subsequent step 2036, the timer value is checked to see if the second period has expired. During the second period, control passes from step 2036 to step 2038, in which the output of OR-gate 234 is again checked to see if any manual switches are being operated. If so, the current program cycle ends; otherwise, control returns to step 2036. After the second period has expired without actuation of any of the manual switches 210, control passes from step 2036 to step 2040, in which lock-up flag F L is set. Thereafter, the program ends and step 2017 takes effect, locking up the keyless entry system.
  • the vehicle devices i.e. door locks, trunk lid lock, and so forth, are operated by means of a mechanical key.
  • Figs. 8 and 9 show modification of a manner of mounting the loop antennas 214 on the vehicle external surface.
  • the antenna 214 is mounted along the door opening edge 214a of the vehicle body.
  • the antenna 214 is mounted along the door window frame 214b of the door 214c.
  • the antenna can be mounted various portion of the vehicle body, which portions are stable and cannot move.
  • the antenna 214-TL for operating the trunk lid lock device may be provided on the rear windshield or the edge of rear windshield opening.
  • antennas 214-ST and 214-SM for steering lock device and the starter motor may be mounted on the front windshield or along the edge of the front windshield opening.
  • the user is now free of the responsibility of memorizing the preset code and need only depress a manual switch corresponding to the desired lock device to be operated.
  • locking the transmitter in the vehicle can be successfully prevented by producing an alarm when the code signal level is remains substantially unchanged.
